Earlier that same day we birded the daylights out of Junction, TX and had our most species for the trip in one day so far. Local birder, Rhandy Helton met up with us and is on a first name basis with every. single. bird. in the area. 🙂 (Thank you to Jane Tillman for connecting us with Rhandy! And thank you to Rhandy for spending over half the day with us and helping us get a boatload of birds in the Junction area!) As you can imagine, that didn’t hurt Mom’s Big Year numbers one bit! Before we left our hotel parking lot with Rhandy, the kind hostess at the hotel ran outside, offering us a bird guide to Junction.

We smiled, graciously accepted and giggling silently as we knew that Rhandy was the author of the guide. We were in good hands with him for sure.

I’m a mom and I’m a birder.
Passionate about both.
And undeniably passionate about life.
In 2016, I’ll be doing a Big Year, A Mom’s Big Year….
that is, an adapted version of the traditional birder’s Big Year. I’ll be going as many places and seeing as many birds as possible throughout 2016…all within the context of being the best mom I know how to be.
